When "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" showrunner Lori Gordon pitched a girls trip to Milwaukee, she expected it to be a "really hard sell," according to Noah Samton, SVP of Current Production, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.

This week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs days after cast member Whitney Rose announced that her 14-year-old daughter, Bobbie Rose, was hospitalized in an intensive care unit over the weekend after “severe asthma exacerbation.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is TV’s best soap opera, week after week offering twists more shocking than secret twins and characters returning from the dead. That’s because it’s all real, happening in the most haunted suburb in the continental United States.

Rumors about a Housewife’s business, a Osmond relative’s possible cheating, and unfair “steamrolling” fuel an inferno of fights on the new episode of “RHOSLC.”

Bronwyn handles a bombshell about her daughter and the grandparents the teen has never met; Angie and Lisa disagree about parenting approaches; and Jared Osmond finally appears on camera.

In episode 5, “as the women settle back into life in Salt Lake City after their whirlwind trip to Milwaukee, group dynamics are anything but calm. Whitney is on the hunt to find out who planted the rumors about her business and Mary is fed up with Heather.”

The wives seem too allergic to confrontation. You can’t have a TV show just about words — there must be action!
